Queen's Words Will Proclaim Canada's Flag "By THE: CANADIAN PRESS ". . . We do by this Our Royal Proclamation appoint and declare as the national flag of Canada, upon, from and after the 15th day of February, in the year of Our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixty-five..." Those words of the Queen will be read in Ottawa and at cere- monies across Canada Monday as the red maple leaf flag re- places the Red Ensign as Can- ada's official emblem. Above the din of controversy surrounding the birth of the new flag, the Royal Proclama- tion signed at Buckingham Pal- ace Jan, 28 in the presence of Prime Minister Pearson states: ". . , Our loving subjects and all others whom these presents May concern are hereby re- quired to take notice and gov- ern themselves accordingly." In Ottawa, the new flag will g0 up atop the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill at the stroke of noon accompanied by a 21- gun salute. The banner is dscribed in the proclamation as "a red flag of proportions two by length and one by width, containing in its centre a white square the width of the flag, bearing a single red maple leaf, or, in heraldic terms, described as gules on a Canadian pale argent a maple leaf of the first." IS CENTRAL FIGURE Governor - General Vanier will be the central figure in the Ottawa ceremony attended by Mr. Pearson and Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, the chief antagonists in the parliament- ary flag battle that spanned seven months of 1964. The ceremony in the capital will be only one of. hundreds marking the occasion. The tone and emphasis in ceremonies at other levels and in other areas vary greatly. A certain reflection of the controversy engendered last year is the emphasis certain ceremonies. give the outgoing ensign. In Vancouver, a stronghold of/ British tradition in Canada, an} army band will see the Red) Ensign down to the sentimental! chords of Auld Lang Syne. WILL FLY TWO FLAGS | In Newfoundland, a British) dominion until 1949, the British Union Jack was never sup- planted by the ensign. Premier Joseph Smallwood has ordered that as of Monday all provin- cial government buildings will have two flagpoles--one for the new flag and the other for the Union Jack. At Monday's ¢ere- mony they will be raised sim-| ultaneously. | The Prince Edward Island ceremonies will be held at the Charlottetown armories in the morning. The New Brunswick will be in the Red Room of Province House with Canadian clubs taking part. In Quebec the new flag has been flying unofficially for sev- eral weeks, Premier Jean Le- sage plans a public ceremony at the main entrance of the legislature.

He said that later the new flag will be flown over government office buildings throughout the province. The Winnipeg ceremony will feature official presentation by Premier Duff Roblin of the Red Ensign to a color guard made up of the Jhree armed services. It will be raised on a special flagpole in the legislature's library as'a backdrop behind the list of war dead. At Regina, there will be a fly-past of aircraft from. the RCAF base at Moose Jaw to coincide with the flag - raising at 11 a.m. Premier Manning will offici- ate at the Alberta ceremony. As in Newfoundland, the Union Jack will fly on a_ separate flagpole. In this case, it will serve as the symbol for Lieu- |tenant - Governor Percy Page, |whose office is in the legislative building. The military will be promin- ent in various ceremonies also honoring the retiring of their military standards -- the blue and white. ensigns. 'WILL FIRE SALUTE Off Vancouver, the navy will fire a 21-gun salute and five ships at sea will mark the change to the maple leaf flag with full-dress ceremony. In co-ordination with the Ot- tawa ceremony, the new flag will go up on federal properties abroad, At posts abroad, at the United Nations and NATO headquarters, ceremonies will be conducted by Canadian rep- resentatives at noon local time.

Somewhere in South Viet |Nam, a Southeast Asian caul- jdron of bloodshed amid lush jjungles and fruitful rice pad- |dies, there is a point of no re- jturn for the United States, China jand the Soviet Union. The war in Viet Nam is no longer a small struggle. Events this week have directly staked the interests and prestige of those three great powers on the outcome. History and geography have tossed the 15,000,000 people of South Viet Nam into the role of pawns in this cold-war struggle. Violence, particularly for those under 30, is the story of their lives, To the United States, South Viet Nam is a sort of Asian Berlin, an outpost it has sworn to hold. But it is more than that. It represents, to the U.S., a plug in a dike holding back a Chinese tide. The Chinese see it differently. |South Viet Nam is a gateway But, as efforts to lay the groundwork for a peace confer- ence began in various quarters, diplomats were asking them- selves how' much control the great powers have over their own fate in Viet Nam. Could either the Chinese or the Rus- sians actually make the Viet Cong, the Communist guerrillas in South Viet Nam, lay down their arms? What will the United States do if the next coup in Saigon installs a government that insists on peace on just about any terms? The Viet Cong is an outgrowth of the Communist underground that came into existence in In- dochina in 1941, a year after the Japanese took over control of the country from the French. At the end of the Second World War, the French returned and became embroiled in an. eight- year, costly and losing war with the Communists. World's Giants Face 'Point Of No Return They called it quits in 1954 and a 14-nation ceasefire broke up Indochina into today's por- tions: Laos, Cambodia and North and South Viet Nam. In 1955, strongman Ngo Dinh Diem succeeded playboy em- peror Bao Dai in South Viet Nam. This pro-Western leader, ruling like a Chinese warlord, imposed stability of a sort with increasingly repressive meas- ures, By 1961, he faced mount- ing opposition, including strong Buddhist factions. On Nov. 1, 1963, he was displaced and slain and one ineffective government has. succeeded another ever since. The U.S. commitment in Southeast Asia began in 1949 with the victory of the Commu- nists in China. The U.S. aided the French in their losing Indo- china war at. a rate of up to $1,000,000,000 annually. 'U.S. AID CONTINUES ENJOYING IT? After the 1954 ceasefire, which the U.S. did not sign but agreed to honor, U.S. aid continued to South Viet Nam.

The 3,200 employees acted Mr. Lesage. "The board for the first time found itself asked by its em- ployees for a package of work- ing conditions which involved a serious preliminary study." The employees voted Thurs- day night to accept a new con- tract which provides for wage increases of $8 a week the first year, $3 the second year and $7 the third. They originally had asked an over-all increase of $25. The contract, now formally approved by the government, also provides that employees affected by automation will be transferred to other govern- ment jobs instead of being laid off. Average salary had been $57 a week, said spokesmen for the employees' union, an affil- fate of the Confederation of Nationa] Trade Unions. Some points in the contract remain to be settled. They in- clude questions of vacation, sick leave, and pension rights. Steel Trade Affected Little PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Steel companies agreed Friday the cliffhanger steelworkers' elec- tion has made no impact on the steel business. Steel orders have been running heavy for quite some time. Mills have been pouring steel at capacity or near - capacity rates. Thus, added uncertainty in the labor field was given no importance, "'We're up to our eyes in or- ders anyhow," said a spokes- man for one major producer. Another commented: "Our production has been run- ning full. We have seen no change in how customers feel about it (the election) one way or another." Republic Steel Corporation said its orders are running be- yond its capacity to produce. Steel producers said some buyers already have started to build steel stockpiles for protec- tion against a possible strike. This, coupled with the fact that business conditions are gener- ally good, has pushed steel out- put to the point that added fear of labor trouble has had no ef- fect on the industry, they said. Meanwhile, the count in the presidential election of the United Steelworkers union re- mained at a virtual standstill. Both candidates in Tuesday's election, incumbent David J. MacDonald and.

ASKS WHO PAYS Mr. Singer then asked the premier which department pays the salary of Don Fairbairn, a public relations man who pre- pares weekly radio and televis- ion tapes on government news and distributes them free throughout Ontario. The premier said he did not know but would be able to supply an answer later. In another debate on a bud- get expenditure for the office of the lieutenant-governor, James Trotter (L -- Toronto - Park- dale) suggested the office be abolished. He said perhaps the chief justice of Ontario could serve as the Queen's representative in the province. Amid hoots from the Conservative benches that he was advocating a re- public, Mr, Trotter said the of- fice was a holdover from colon- ial days. The lieutenant - gov- ernor no longer enjoyed the same support or respect. . Premier Robarts said that after hearing Mr. Trotter speak he could only assume the Lib- eral member was against spending $33,000 for the office and would vote against it.

The moves close the gap on the three-member board cre- ated by the resignation Dec. 15 ef Mr. Justice Victor Dryer, ehairman since the trusteeship was created by Parliament 16 months ago. Mr. MacEachen also, in ef-! fect, rebuked the third trustee, Charles Millard of Toronto, who has criticized the trusteeship and demanded it be replaced by a labor-sponsored arrangement. The minister said there are "several important matters"' to be completed before the trustee- ship is ended. New trustee is Joseph Mac- Kenzie, 54, who will go on leave of absence from his post as na-| tional director of organization! for the CLC.

The minister's announcement}! said Judge Lippe had first turned down the chairmanship but later changed his mind "in response to a request from the government." Then it went on to deny flatly Mr. Millard's recent claims that the trusteeship is on the road to becoming a permanent bureaucracy and intends to grab control of the Interna- tional Longshoremen's Associa- tion (CLC). The trustees were given con- trol over the SIU and four smaller unions and instructed to restore labor peace to the Great Lakes shipping industry. Key to the problem was a cleanup of the SIU, condemned by a fed- eral inquiry as a racket-ridden organization led by a labor ty- rant, Hal C. Banks. Banks was fired last March and has since fled to the United States to escape a five-year prison term for conspiracy to assault a rival union leader Mr. MacKenzie is a native of Glasgow who came to Toronto as a boy. In Montreal, Judge Lippe said he will communicate during the weekend with Mr. MacKenzie and will call a meeting of the trustees as soon as possible. | Asia. The Soviet Union, under Ni- kita Khrushchev, was careful not to look at South Viet Nam at all, if it could help it. His successors have taken a differ- ent attitude. As the war broad- ened this week and world ten- sions rose, Premier Alexei Ko- sygin said on a visit to Hanoi-- without being specific as to measures--the Soviet Union will help to strengthen North Viet Nam. Men Save Boy, Girl Saves 3 NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) A four-year-old boy, who fell through the ice into Little Ni- agara River about five miles above Niagara Falls, was res- cued Friday by two men, who in turn were aided by a teen- age girl. Police Jr., said Ernest Ventry, fell into the water while walking on the ice near his home. His grandfather, John Wolfe, 48, heard the cries of a playmate and jumped in after the boy. A cousin, Robert Wolfe, an off-duty policeman, also went into the water when it appeared the elder Wolfe had cramps. The two men. got the boy to shore but could not negotiate the thin ice to get on solid ground themselves. Police said Barbara Hilts, 18, the men to shore The boy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ventry, Was reported in good condition in hospital. The others were treated at the scene. Don't feel guilty.

In a speech prepared for delivery today to an- educa- tional conference sponsored by the Ontario Federation of Labor, Prof. Hall said: "Enjoyment has become part of our birthright--it is probably an oversight that it did not appear in the bill of rights. "By and large the worker has to be pushed into the work place in the morning and he hastens to leave it in the evening. Not so with the pub--he hurries to get there and has to be chased out at closing time. "When he isn't idling his time there, he is at ball games or races or is seeking out low dives where his liquor is associated with music and dames. : "Indeed, so strong is his interest in wine, women and song that society is continu- ally hatching up new schemes to keep him away from liquor and from gambling and such things as Sunday sports." ulation is Roman Catholic -- Diem was one--who tend to be militant.
